Exegesis
Gemstone names alternate in gender, with some neuter nouns like sardion {σάρδιον | sár-di-on} and topazion {τοπάζιον | to-pá-zi-on} receiving graphic designation without a copula in Greek. In translation, the formal version supplies “was” for each item to mirror the nominal equative structure, while the dynamic version explicitly references “foundation” and “stone” to situate the imagery in its architectural context without altering the original ordering.
Root and etymology
